As far as the County Clerk is concerned (that is who handles motor vehicle titles in Tennessee), upon learning of your dad's passing, they will consider your mother to be the owner. That is because it sounds like they never updated the title during the divorce like they (probably) should... View More

As a spouse you can sue for spousal support. But since you left, you might lose. Talk to the domestic violence organizations.

Hire a TN attorney to move to set aside the default judgment for cause.
She actually left me on 6/30, before my pension began. I have documentation proving the date of abandonment. I am trying to complete a quick and easy divorce by using the documents that are provided on the Tennessee government website. However, it states I cannot use these if I have a pension.

Hire a TN attorney to file the Divorce. Defendant may agree to IR Divorce, but if not you will need grounds. In a contested DV, she will discover the Pension property and claim it is marital property. If you cannot get her to agree to an IR DV prior to filing, you may not want to file the DV.

You should have called law enforcement. You might be able to file an Action To Recover Personal Property in General Sessions. Use TN terms only, not foreign. Otherwise you will need to file for a Divorce and have to prove grounds.

That short marriage does not give you an interest in his separate properties. Instead you should have your lawyer demand what you need to transition for the next five years, and not agree to an ID divorce until you get what you want. Without an agreement, he will have to prove grounds for the... View More

Yes and it will have to be addressed. Husband is presumptive, legal father liable for support. Probably need a divorce for adultery and get a paternity test ordered.
Should I go to office to read papers or ask them to send them to me first since I have no idea what’s in them. She won’t even talk to me so I can’t get info from her. Don’t know if I need a lawyer or not.
My wife and I were granted a Divorce in Oct 2021 In Illinois. She moved to Midland Texas, while I now reside in Tennessee.

It likely has to do with title to property.
For example, if she was awarded a motor vehicle in your divorce decree but the title registration was not changed before she moved, she might have recorded the decree in Texas so she could register the motor vehicle in her sole name in Texas.
I paid a divorce attorney in February 2022 to get a divorce, it went on for 11 months because my wife could not be found and, therefore was never served with papers.

I assume the $1,000 does not include your filing fees, service fee, publication fee, or the ad litem’s fee.
Even then, $1,000 is awfully skinny to start a divorce case particularly if the attorney knew in advance you didn’t know where your wife is.
While you can sue, you might... View More
He marked "hand directly to parent" on the papers and when I mentioned this to him he said he's just going to wait for them to come out of his check on its own. Do I need to take him back to court or what do I do because he doesn't want to pay it and the papers was filed March 2, 2023.

It sounds like you did not go to Court, so you do not know what if anything is going on. Call Court and find out when the divorce decree was entered. Order for CS starts then. If no case at Court, then you are not divorced. If CS is not paid, then you must file a Petition to hold him in... View More

It depends on the divorce judgment and the equity involved. But you may be able to file for Partition. Hire an attorney.
This is the house she and her husband live in. Can she sell the house, he is not on the deed. This is in Tennessee
answered on Jan 16, 2023
From your limited facts, I don't see why not. If she's solely on the deed, she could convey it. If there's a pending divorce, the situation would be different. Consult local counsel to address any concerns you may have.

If you are named as a grantee on the Deed(not the Deed of Trust), then you have no ownership. Owner can file a Detainer Warrant unless you have a spousal support Order from the Divorce Court.
We are filing a no-contest divorce and he is supposed to obtain the house and split the equity with me, but the documents only say he will refinance and I will sign a quitclaim deed.
